Based on major funding by Wallenberg and Kempe, the NMR platform provides access to instruments currently ranging from 360-850 MHz. These instruments cover all major NMR techniques (solution, solid-state, diffusion and imaging). The platform provides service and access to all KBC and Campus groups, as well as training in state-of-the-art NMR methodology. In addition, it has an open-access policy for academic/industrial partners at a national/international level.

Connected to this facility is an internationally well recognized, highly collaborative NMR community at Umeå University (ca. 15 groups) who cover a wide scope of basic and applied research including:

materials- and environmental sciences

NMR methods development

post-genomic derived systems in plants (green factory)

biological processes in human health and disease

Membrane lipids and proteins

Protein-ligand screening

Protein dynamics and folding

Bioactive RNA/DNA complexes

Plant cell wall structure

The platform acts as a core facility for several major research projects (Berzelius Centre, Umeå Centre for Microbial Research, Wallenberg: Molecules for the Future and Bio4energy) and two Graduate Research Schools.
